Remote is a global employment platform. A company that wants to hire someone in another country normally needs a legal entity there, which is slow and costly. With Remote as the employer of record, the worker is legally employed by Remote locally, while the company directs their daily work. Remote handles contracts, payroll, taxes, benefits, and statutory requirements.
The platform also supports contractors, offers tools for onboarding, expenses, and equipment, and provides local compliance knowledge across many countries. A global payroll product helps companies that already have entities coordinate payments, and AI features assist HR teams with questions and workflows. The company has built its own entities in many countries rather than relying on partners.
Remote charges a monthly fee per employee, and fees apply for other services. Employer of record services suit companies testing a market or hiring a few people abroad, and larger operations may eventually set up their own entities. Alternatives include Deel, Oyster, Rippling, Papaya Global, and Velocity Global. Remote suits companies hiring across borders.
